Hi Ben, looking quickly at the source of the AuthChallengeParser, it seems that it await more information in the challenge string than only "Basic".
Does it occurs each time? I could imagine that the server sent a bad response and that WebTest directly failed where "normal" browsers retry. Can you sniff the Http traffic in a normal browser (for instance using the liveHttpHeader add-on for Firefox) to "see" what happens there?
